Waiting for lab results!!1 ughhhh =(

Tags: Anxiety, Hope
I have been battling  severe health anxiety for about 4 months now.....Well finally got to the docs today, my endo finally put me on synthroid ...Yeah !!!! I hope this will be my road to curing this depression. Then I was off to my normal PC .. he seemed to be convinced at first this is all stress, thryoid and anxiety though by the end of the visit.. he decided since he was redoing my sugar level, he would re run a CBC OH, GOD!... the waiting game again! why another CBC I think maybe he now might suspect a problem... or just my minds over active imagination! I none the less am worried sick ( I guess nothing new!)..lol, he was nice to tell me if I hear from him in the morning than there is a problem, if all is good he wont call till later. So of course the next 24 hrs will be hell....=(.
He gave me clozapam ? so hopefully I will just sleep this angony away. My glands feel better today, though the doc did not even feel any of then to verify whether they were swollen or not.. I broke down and cryed when he came in the office, so that I guess gave him his diagnosis.
I hope all of  you are  doing better !!!! and found some help for this kind of maddness,if all my results comes backs good tomorrow I have to put this all behind me! I totally feel like I am losing my mind and I have already lost control. I can only pray as I sit here and write that all will be good! any good advice for this horrible waiting game? Please someone help with advice!!!! Thank you

I know exactly how you feel.  I hate waiting.  I had a chest x-ray on Monday but luckily the radiology was in the same building and the doc was nice enough to tell me the results in between his patients. It turned out okay. Big relief!  Now I have to get pulmonary function tests next weds.  Not looking forward to it at all...

As far as blood tests are concerned, all mine usually come back normal.  I had one done earlier this month and I was like you, scared to death when the phone rang.  The results were normal w/ the exception of Thalyssimia (not sure if that is the correct spelling) but nothing big.  Just hang in there!  Watch TV and try to get your mind off of it.

(it so funny when I read your posts, your experiences are exactly like mine!)

best wishes, let us know how it goes...

Most definitely take the clozopam - it is the generic for klonopin; you will feel very calm and relaxed!

Thank you  for responding ! I cant take the clozapam? until I get home I am at work till 8 pm tonight and it is not busy at all. which makes the time push by sooo slow! I will be frantic tomorrow morning.. hoping the phone doesnt ring! They need to have test results back while at the office!!!! this waiting stuff is for the birds...  they do in the ER so they need to have in the medical offices! Pure torture this is =( I will try and not freak out .. God I hate this, even more than  the physical pains I get, I had a CBC  last month and it was good, I cant do this every month ...LOL I getting gray hairs by the moment and I still young at least I think so =).
I ordered a positive thinking cd healing miracles, should be here in a few days, I am desperate , I hope it helps! I want to be like the people who are so strong willed and strong minded that no matter what they triumph over adveristy. I would give anything for that ! anyone got it for sale??? LOL
I will keep posted  on my results. Please keep posted as well, it helps so much to talk  with someone about this.

I know how you feel...just remember a CBC is not anything to worry about...it is just a basic complete blood count...he isn't checking you for a specific illness...he is just making sure it is all fine!!!  AND IT WILL BE!!  I hope you took your clorzonapam...I love that medication!!!  Please keep us updated!!!  Tomorrow will be here before you know it and you will be just great!!!!

Hi,

I cant take the meds since I am here at work and have a 1 hr drive home at 8pm. I am just afraid with the CBC  that it will be off and they will say we need to do further test! My mind runs through every senerio!. Thank you for posting. I will post as soon as I get my results hopefully I wont  hear anything  tomorrow morning, as no news will be good news!  I am glad to hear the med is good I truly hope it works along with the synthroid  so my mind will begin to heal!  I am trying to get through the next 1 1/2 it is soo slow and so I sit here just thinking... Not Good =(    . I am so glad this forum is here and have such good people that take the time to respond. Anxiety is so awful and diabiliating and it is so hard to talk to family as everyone just says oh your ok.... you just need to stop  thinking like that!  I believe they think I nutty,  my poor husband is so worried about me. I had opened up all my feelings and fears over the weekend and he was so surprized that I thought such bad things. I protray to be such a strong person on the outside by lately that is crumbling like my inside.  It is so hard to put on a happy face when you are in such sadness and fear overwhelming my mind Again  thank you for the post and I will keep updated =)
God Bless
